Sound: What can I say - when I first heard about this record coming out, I pretty much creamed myself. The Phantom on the Horizon - it even sounded awesome. I knew that I had to get my hands on it, and I eagerly anticipated its release, and being able to listen to what would no doubt be a masterpiece. With the addition of bassist Frank Black, this trio would have rather high expectations to live up to, and they definitely did. Guitar: Wow - what can I say...

Sound: When I first heard this band 3 years ago I was still into softer classic rock music I thought all music coming out today was crap and I couldn't stand it until I heard Doppleganger. I remember when it had first came out people were saying it was an amazing album and I should check it out. I downloaded one of the songs and started listening closed minded and thought it was just the same old crap...

Sound: This band has left one of the biggest impressions on me out of all of them. The other reviewer was not far off with the comparison to The Blood Brothers in terms of overall-mayhem of the sounds. The Fall of Troy are able to pull this album together imaginably well. takeing some songs directly from their previous band "Thirty Years War" those songs are "Reasurance Rests At Sea" Rockstar Nailbomb and one or 2 others that I can't pull of the top of my head...

Sound: The band really poured out some effort into this album. The CD begins with Ghostship Pt.1. This song has a rather long intro and starts slow but builds in intensity rather fast. Pt 2 like the first has a lot of intenisty to it and uses a church organ sounding instrument (not compleatly sure what kind of organ). There is no part 3, which may be released with an upcoming album or just never released at all. Part 4, and 5 are genius works...

Sound: The Fall of Troy have always sounded different from what they are. They were a great surprise when I first discovered them, and they surprise even more with the new addition. Thomas Erak has always known how to shred on a fretboard, all while belting out amazing vocals. Tim Ward is just as talented on bass, making pure genius bass lines that work perfectly with the guitar parts...

Sound: The Fall of Troy is not known to stick to one thing. 2005's Doppelganger was a huge hit with the post-hardcore fan base, and 2007's Manipulator, the follow up, was a smack in the face, most notably a good one, for people that hoped they stayed in one place. Expanding their horizon with songs Caught Up and Quarter Past, guitarist/vocalist Thomas Erak, bassist/vox Tim Ward, and Drummer Andrew Forsman all showed just a small taste of what they were capable of...

Summary: In The Unlikely Event proves to be an underwhelming, grave disappointment. The Fall Of Troy are lost. In The Unlikely Event is the grandest combination of illogical passages and musical unrest. Dating back to their self-titled era, they have always been an extremely technical post-hardcore/progressive band, and in the past, it has worked to their advantage...

So you're back from school and you have that crappy homework to finish before dinner. You're too fucking tired after a gym class that had you running like an animal twenty times around the school. Besides, demography and migration are not your primal concerns when your stomach walls yearn for a well-cooked, fresh meal after all the junk food you swallowed in the cafeteria. For a hallucinatory instant, you fantasize about eating your homework and expelling it in your teacher's desk tomorrow...

There's a bothersome quality about The Fall of Troy and its recent release, Doppleganger. The whole thing comes off as The Mars Volta played on fast-forward. The vocals fall into the screamo label, but the main problem lies in the ridiculous guitar playing. It's starts off tolerable and even enjoyable but progresses into something so pretentious it's just plain annoying. The first hook on Doppleganger has the hyperactive axe wizardry this album thrives on...
